About Isabel M.

4.8

(7)

Hello and thank you for stopping! I am a certified piano teacher accredited by Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) and it is my great pleasure to help students of all ages learn the joys and wonders of piano playing. I offer live and online lessons to students of all ages from my studio in Westfield in western Massachusetts. An everyday piano lesson with me incorporates fun educational games and activities, piano improvisational exercises, music theory learning, and, of course, plenty of enjoyable music to practice at home! I also have some light experience working with students with special needs, and so welcome inquiries from parents with children with needs such as high-functioning autism. A little bit more about myself is that I earned my B.A. degree from the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University in New York, and I focused on musical studies at Mannes School of Music and at Hunter College, as a second degree music major at the latter college. Please take note that my calendar of availability is for the E.S.T. zone only; however, there may be some wiggle room that I can work out with you for online lesson in other time zones. Be welcome to reach out, and I will be glad to respond as soon as I can!

I began my journey with piano as an adult and I could not be happier! Isabel really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the piano. Her positive attitude and gift for teaching piano has helped me come so far in just 6 months. I would highly recommend her.

having taught in the same school as Isabel I was able first to see her positive interaction with students of all ages. She is organized and well prepared. Isabel is very professional and passionate and is more than qualified as an instructor.
